Register Now: Hillwide Garage Sale Sat August 12th

It’s that time of year again and the Hillwide Elves are making a list of who’s been splurging and who’s been purging! Get your garage groove on and join the neighborhood to raise money for the Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center (BHNC). Remember to share and be social with #Hillwide2017.

A quick word from our Head Elf, Michael Minson:

Hi Neighbors!

I have led this effort every year for the past four years as a fun way to raise extra funds for the BHNC. With the HUD cutbacks at the Federal Government level, it’s more important than ever that we rally as a community and support great organizations that help our neighbors. BHNC provides much needed services for our community including housing, programs for our youth and seniors and neighborhood events like Fiesta on the Hill. We’ve raised about $8k over the past four years, with our annual contributions gaining each and every year. This year our goal is to raise $4k for the neighborhood center from donations from neighbors. Help us meet the goal and give back to the community that we all feel grateful to be a part of.

Here are the details to get involved and support Bernal Heights:
